District news
School year starts Sept. 2, before Labor Day
What happened
The board approved the 2026-27 school calendar on March 10, 2026. Staff return Monday, August 31, and students start Wednesday, September 2, with Friday and Monday of Labor Day weekend off and the days before Thanksgiving and winter break also off.
Why it matters to families
Families plan vacations, child care and work around the start date, and this is an earlier start than a typical after-Labor-Day calendar.
The evidence
On the March 10, 2026 recording the board approved the calendar on second reading. The Back to School 2026-27 newsletter lists August 31-September 1 staff days, school opens September 2, and says dates are subject to change.
